Water


It can be hot and can be cold
It can be old or new
It can rush or be still
It can rise and it can fall
It can be clear or murky
Dangerous
Essential
Beautiful
Water Is Life

Ts'ai Lun was born in China in 50 AD and died in 121 AD. He is considered one of the most influential people in history becuase he was the first to make paper and the paper making process. He first invented those two things in 105 AD. He started by taking the inner bark of the mulberry tree and bamboo fibers and would mix them with water. He would then pound the solution with a wooden hammer. He then take a flat piece of coarsely woven cloth and pour the solution on it. The water would then drain through leaving only the fibers and the cloth to dry. After it dried, it left a thin, light, and quality writing surface which we know as paper. So, Ts'ai Lun was the very first person to make paper and the paper making process.


Picture missing. Are there pictures of him? I like your poem, but I'm not sure it's a metaphor. 3's. Mr. Chester
